October: NE Winds Return
October marks the real battle between winter leftovers and summer's return. Average swell height remains around 5ft (1.6m), but the period drops to 8.7s and ideal wind falls to 31%. Swell data still look favorable, with SSE (19.3%), S (13.4%), SE (13.2%), ENE (12.0%), E (10.0%) and ESE (9.1%), but the wind regime is clearly turning: NNE (10.2%), NE (10.5%), SSE (8.4%), S (9.3%) and NNW (9.2%) dominate, while W/NW totals decline. The ocean begins warming at 19.2C, air averages 18.1C, and rainfall is 2.04mm/day. Surf quality depends on timing. Early mornings before the NE sea breeze fills in can still be clean and rippable, and a Tasman low can throw decent E/SE groundswell into the beach. But the all-day offshore consistency of winter is gone.
